DescriptionCVE.org

multer is a middleware for handling multipart/form-data in Node.js. A small multipart request containing two specially crafted text field names can cause an uncaught RangeError (Invalid array length) that terminates the Node.js process. The first field uses a very large numeric array index to allocate a maximum-length sparse array, and a second field then pushes past that length, which throws inside the append-field dependency and is not caught by multer. All versions before 2.3.0 are affected, and the issue is a remotely triggerable denial of service. The issue is fixed in multer 2.3.0. Upgrade to multer 2.3.0 to remediate.

AnalysisAI

Remote denial-of-service in the Node.js multer middleware (all versions before 2.3.0) allows unauthenticated attackers to crash the entire Node.js process by submitting a small, specially crafted multipart/form-data request. The attack exploits an uncaught RangeError in multer's append-field dependency: a first field with an extremely large numeric index allocates a maximum-length sparse array, and a second field pushes past that limit, throwing an exception that multer does not catch. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation No special configuration or non-default setup is required: any application that uses multer versions before 2.3.0 to process multipart/form-data on a network-accessible endpoint is exploitable by unauthenticated attackers (CVSS PR:N, AV:N, AC:L). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 7.5 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H) accurately reflects the vulnerability's characteristics: network-accessible, no authentication, no user interaction, and low attack complexity producing high availability impact with no confidentiality or integrity compromise. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Upgrade multer to version 2.3.0 or later; this is the only complete fix. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, execute a complete inventory scan of all production and staging Node.js applications to identify those running multer versions prior to 2.3.0, using both dependency scanners and runtime introspection. …
